4.3.14 IPDS Timeout
This option either allows the host to directly control when an IPDS LAN session with a
printer ends (disconnects) or allows the printer IPDS emulation to determine when an
IPDS LAN session times out.
Note: The IPDS Timeout values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation
when the printer is LAN attached using a MarkNet S adapter.
Note: This option is only available on IPDS emulation code level 8141 or higher.
The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports. While the printer is
busy printing jobs from one printer port, jobs on other printer ports remain in a waiting
status. When the host disconnects from the printer or when the printer IPDS emulation
times out, the printer automatically switches to another printer port to start a new job.
Host Controlled should be selected as the IPDS Timeout value when the host port
value is 9100 or 9102. The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS
jobs on port 9100 or 9102. Host Controlled or the timeout values (15 seconds to 10
minutes) may be used when the host port value is 9600. The host port value is
specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host.
Host Controlled*
The printer IPDS emulation remains active until the host
disconnects from the printer. Host timer/timeout values control
when the host will disconnect. When the host disconnects, the
printer will print jobs from other printer ports.
Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions: The host
timer/timeout value should be set to a small value (15 to 30
seconds) so the host will quickly disconnect after an IPDS job
is printed. All IPDS resources downloaded to the printer will
be deleted when the host disconnects. A disabled or large host
timer/timeout value will cause the printer IPDS emulation to
remain active. The printer busy light will flash and IPDS will
remain on the printer operator panel even though the printer
has completed processing and printing the IPDS job.
